There is a reason that Joel Osteen is so popular. In a religious world that’s filled with fear and guilt motivation, Joel’s message of positivity and empowerment is a breath of fresh air that so many feel the need for.

Whether you are ailing physically, mentally or spiritually you can find comfort in the scriptures. You can know that God wants to heal you. He wants you to be healed.

All suffering and healing begins on a spiritual level and completes its manifestation in the physical realm. As such, no matter what you’re battling, it helps to affirm what God’s will is for you by beginning at the spiritual level.

Did you know that money and financial gain is only one aspect of success and prosperity? In the scriptures we find that success and prosperity have many more attributes and even deeper roots. A more robust understanding of success and prosperity includes us growing and becoming fully mature in all areas of life – relationships, self-discipline, benevolence and stewardship, etc.

Unfortunately, a few prosperity gospel preachers have given the terms “success” and “prosperity” a bad name for many. Overreacting to these unhealthy teachings, many Christian ministers have swung the pendulum the other way and have harped on the dangers of wealth and emphasized the need to be poor…you know, like Jesus.

For this roundup of the 5 best Christian affirmation videos on YouTube, results are based on the first five videos that appeared in a Google search. The search was the same as the title of this article.

This was the sole criteria for the results. There is no personal bias in these results whatsoever.

If you’re a Christian, have you every thought about why you are a Christian? Have you ever asked yourself that question – why am I a Christian?

I was having a conversation with someone I had just met. In our first video conference they noticed all the guitars hanging on the wall behind me. They commented on what a nice studio I have and then asked if I play in any bands.

That struck a nerve with me, because all my life I’ve had these insecurities about not playing in a band. Sometimes it feels like you’re not a serious musician, or a respected musician, if you’re not playing in a band of some sort. Plus, sometimes it just feels like you’re missing out on a whole lot of fun!

I scrambled for things to say. I told him how I play in a jazz duo (and wanted to add that I do so every week, just to make myself sound more legitimate). I also mentioned that I do a lot of solo stuff and studio work. I told him that I had been working that day on recording some meditation music for an affirmation video I was creating.

The thought also crossed my mind to tell him that I play at church a lot, but, at the time of writing this, it’s not with a band. Also, since I didn’t know this person very well, I wasn’t sure if mentioning that I am a Christian was an appropriate or helpful move. That affirmation video I was creating? I didn’t mention to him that it was a Christian affirmation video.

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean positive thinking comes naturally to you. Even the most positive people can struggle with negativity from time to time. Of course, one of the fruits of the Spirit is joy, but fruit doesn’t just happen.

Fortunately the scriptures are filled with verses that put life into such a great perspective that you just can’t help but to smile.

These 21 Christian affirmations for positive thinking come with a handy scripture reference to help you see the affirmation in its original biblical context.

I’ve also provided a link to a YouTube recording below, if you would like to listen to a guided walk through of the affirmations.

Before you begin reciting these affirmations, you may find it helpful to take a deep cleansing breath. As you recite them, declare them powerfully with conviction.
